People are sometimes challenged by turbulent emotions, transitions, losses or chronic mood issues. The day to day experience of emotional distress or an underlying sense of uneasiness affect vitality and are difficult to endure over time. Verbal dialogue within a relationship designed for you to freely express yourself, explore feelings and discover unconscious factors impacting you describes the change process of psychotherapy. I have seen many individuals over the years not only have symptom relief but find new paths while shedding patterns of disabling emotions, thoughts and behavior.

Many clients have experienced unaddressed trauma that bleeds into their current lived experience. My ideal client is anyone who recognizes that they are in need of help with navigating the daily challenges of life including the areas of college/career, academic, relationships, social and emotional concerns. Ideally, when clients come to me they recognize that they can't do it alone and are seeking assistance from a professional who is skilled in bringing insight and awareness to clients in a way that is palatable and can be digested by the client. They have moved past the pre-contemplative stage of change and into taking action.

Our goal in life is to be loved. We are remembered for how we make people feel. My goal as a therapist is to help families, couples and individuals with communication, coping and relationship skills to create a life that is this as loving and connected as possible. I have specialized in substance abuse for years. This has given me insight into abandonment issues, the need to escape to create emotional distance in relationships and how these types of patterns play out in relationships. My strengths are helping people to reconnect to their purpose in life and finding meaning in the relationships in their lives and rebuilding trust.

I enjoy working with individuals who have a limited awareness about the conflicts within them that interfere with their ability to be happy. I have been successful in helping those who struggle in their interpersonal relationships whether it be: work, marriage, partnerships, or friendships. I work well with adults who are motivated to learn the unconscious reasons for their current struggles. I am aware that the earliest relationships which we were exposed too, influenced the ways we relate to one another. When we learn healthier ways of being with one another, we will feel more satisfied in our relationships.

Sometimes in life we struggle and feel overwhelmed by our problems or circumstances. During these times, it is beneficial to sit with a compassionate and objective therapist to help identify potential solutions that lead to change, improvement, and growth. Often, people have erroneous thought patterns or long held mistaken beliefs about themselves, which prevent them from achieving the life they want. My approach is to create a sensitive and nonjudgmental environment to assist you in properly identifying the root cause of the problem or to provide the coping skills that make the situation less overwhelming and more tolerable.

Life is beautiful! But the human experience can also be painful and difficult. Are you longing for peace and emotional well-being?

Sometimes we all need a radically non-judgmental ally to hear us, understand us, offer support and insight, and help equip us with the tools we need to live our best lives.
